FxWirePro: USD/JPY maintains bullish bias with focus on 108.00 levels

  • USD/JPY rose on Thursday as traders widely watched how new president Donald Trump’s policies could affect economic growth. 
     
  • The dollar quickly regained its footing in choppy trade, helped in part by Trump's acceptance speech, which focused on unity and economic growth.
     
  • Trump's positive tone boosted market expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in December.
     
  • Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 105.65 should limit further decline and bring rebound towards higher levels in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 107.52, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 108.19.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 106.46, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 105.65.
